Chapter 237
At present, he had completed the middle stage of the urban construction task.
The system might be the largest trump card, so he had to try his best to make good use of it. Completing the task set up by the system was undoubtedly the best way to quickly improve his strength.
With the end of the war, Lister became very famous in the Grimm Kingdom. In the near future, many people would definitely join the territory. So the infrastructure construction of Lister must keep up.
It seemed that he had to spend more money.
Locke thought to himself. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and sank into practice.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The war between the Grimm Kingdom and the Barker Kingdom had come to an end. After capturing 1/3 of the land of Barker Kingdom, Grimm Kingdom stopped. Nora was very clear that the reason why they could capture 1/3 of the land so soon was that besides the high morale of the army, Barker Kingdom’s weak defense in these places was also a very important reason.
The weather ahead was cold and the environment was bad. If they continued to move forward, it would be very dangerous for the Grimm Kingdom soldier who lived like spring all year round. In addition, they would also suffer the desperate resistance from the Barker Kingdom. If they insisted on marching forward, they may end up in a lose-lose situation. It was known that around the Grimm Kingdom, many countries were coveting it.
In the end, the Barker Kingdom ceded the land of the two counties and compensated the Grimm Kingdom with 100 million gold coins and 20 million pieces of magic crystals. The rest of the jewelry, horses, and grains were countless.
During this period, Locke invested almost all the money in the construction, and the scale of Lister was also expanding at a visible rate.
In order to better manage it, Locke planned to take the original territory of Lister as the main city area, and the other three lands as the outer city area.
Just as Locke expected, a large number of people swarmed into Lister. In just a dozen days, Lister’s population had exceeded one hundred thousand.

Looking at the number on the system panel, Locke smiled. He believed that it would not take a long time for Athena and the others to break through to one hundred thousand faith points.
As for Thanatos’s fondness, it also reached the “neutral” level. Regrettably, there wasn’t any reward. However, Locke also noticed that this number increased very fast. It should be able to reach the “normal” level in a short time.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the attribute panel and thought happily.
However, he still had a headache matter. With the development of Lister, the magic books in the academy seem to be a little less. Although he had obtained a lot of magic books in Naton County, the highest one was only level-5 magic, he was now able to use level-6 magic.
It seemed that he should find a way to collect more magic books.
Two days passed quickly.
The environment in the Grimm Kingdom had been completely stabilized, and the cities that had been damaged by the war began to repair as soon as possible. Bryce and the others temporarily returned to the county.
The construction of Lister was also in full swing.
In Athena’s Victory Divine Temple, Locke slowly opened his eyes and ended the day at practice.
“Ding~ The system has detected that Athena’s faith point was breakthrough 100 thousand.”
“Release the system reward: unsealed part of Athena’s power.”
With the sound of the system falling, Locke only felt a strong momentum rushing into the sky. However, the aura was fleeting and disappeared into the air in an instant.
“Humph! That guy’s strength has increased again.”
In the room next to Athena, Artemis opened her eyes and said gloomily. Then she threw the pillow in her arms out angrily. Then she closed her eyes, surrounded with divine power, and entered the state of practice.
A few minutes later, she fell back on the bed again frustrated. As a god for tens of thousands of years, the divine power in her body was so vast. According to the current recovery speed, even after tens of thousands of years, it was estimated that she would not recover much.
At the same time, in several ancient and quiet practice rooms of Icacia Continent.
Countless masters raised their heads and looked terrified. They all felt that powerful force.
In the ancient pagoda in the center of the Icacia Continent, the old man’s face was even more serious. “It’s that power again. It’s mysterious, powerful, and holy.”
The old man closed his eyes and wanted to see if he could find the place for this aura.
After a while, the old man opened his eyes helplessly.
Looking back at Lister again.
Athena’s body was shrouded in a faint luster, making her more sacred and inviolable. Soon, the light integrated into her body.
“Ding~ The system has detected that the faith point of Asclepius’s Divine Temple breakthrough 100 thousand. Congratulations, the host will receive the system reward, and unsealed part of Asclepius’s power.”
At the same time, a strong power emerged in Asclepius’s body. After the last lesson, he restrained himself very much, so the power did not burst out, but integrated into his body.
The strength of the two gods had been increased, which was not bad.
However, when he saw the conditions for the next reward on the system panel, Locke was stunned.
One million?!
The faith point that Athena and Asclepius needed suddenly increased from 100 thousand to 1 million!
The system was so abnormal. The faith point required had increased by ten times.
Looking at the number on it, Locke couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. But after careful thinking, he felt that it was not difficult. With the current development speed of Lister, it might not be long before it could reach this standard.
In his previous life, many super metropolises like Washington had a population of more than ten million.
Maybe Lister would have that day too! The look of tall buildings in Lister suddenly appeared in Locke’s mind.
At the thought of this, Locke got a little excited.
Stop, Locke.
Taking a deep breath, Locke calmed down. The goal of 10 million people was too far away. He’d better set a small goal to develop the population to 1 million first.
Come on.
After cheering himself up, Locke lay down again and closed his eyes, ready to sleep. Although his current strength was enough to replace sleep with practice, he still chose to sleep most of the time. After all, sleeping was really a very enjoyable thing.
The next day, Nora returned to Lister.
Along the way, the residents of Lister all bowed and looked in the direction of the carriage with respect. She was not as casual as before. This time, Nora wore a long white dress with a noble temperament.
With the support of the maid, Nora got off the carriage gracefully.
She made a deep bow to Locke and sincerely said, “Mr. Locke Capet, on behalf of the royal family of Temple, I would like to express my highest respect to you.”
If it weren’t for Locke, Grimm Kingdom might have been captured by the Barker Kingdom.
